When Kazuma Kudo returned to the explosion site, the ambulance had just left.

Sato, Takagi, and Conan surrounded him immediately.

Conan was the first to speak, asking, "Are you chasing someone?"

Kazuma Kudo nodded: "When the explosion happened, I noticed the reflection of a telescope in the distance. It's very likely that the person who planted the bomb was the one. It's a pity we couldn't catch him."

"What's going on here?"

Conan frowned: "Inspector Shiratori found a piece of paper in the car. Based on the information on the paper, Inspector Sato deduced that the bomber might be the same person as those from seven years ago and three years ago..."

Kazuma Kudo took the paper and glanced at it...

"I don't understand, goodbye."

Let's leave this to Conan.

He really doesn't understand.

I can't understand these strange codes, nor can I understand why these people would send out notices or codes to cause trouble.

Are you trying to cause trouble and hinder the detective's performance?

Sato called the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, but even though it was already dark, they were still open for business. It turned out they had also received a similar fax with a notice.

Not only the headquarters, but all police stations within the Metropolitan Police Department's jurisdiction received the same fax. Now the entire police station is in an uproar, and of course, it's impossible to leave work.

Sato recounted the events of the day to Inspector Megure, and the two quickly confirmed that the perpetrator of this bombing was the same person who committed the crimes seven and three years ago.

After Officer Chiba helped deliver the car, Sato and Takagi planned to investigate the case, while Kudo Kazuma planned to go with Chiba to the Metropolitan Police Department to describe the appearance of the suspect he had seen.

As for the five members of the Detective Boys, it was said that Takagi would take them back to Agasa's house, but actually...

In fact, Kazuma Kudo saw Conan secretly get into Sato's car.

Fortunately, according to the culprit's plan, Conan will not encounter any danger tonight, so Kazuma Kudo pretended not to see it.

"Attention all units! The General Administration is calling on all units. The General Administration has received a warning letter that does not specify the location of the bombs. There are three batches of bombs, which are expected to be released at noon and 3 p.m. tomorrow."

"Based on past precedents, the warning letter is highly credible. All departments are requested to be on high alert and intensify searches of strangers and unfamiliar vehicles."

As soon as Kazuma Kudo followed Officer Chiba into the Metropolitan Police Department's lobby, he heard the broadcast that echoed throughout the department.

Every now and then, groups of three to five police officers would brush past him, clearly out on missions, working overtime as a group.

Chiba found a young police officer and asked him to draw a picture of the suspicious person based on Kudo Kazuma's description.

Kazuma Kudo claimed he chased after the suspect from a great distance and only caught a glimpse of his general appearance, so he only provided the police with a rough description. It was impossible for the Metropolitan Police Department to completely reconstruct the suspect's appearance, but it was enough to narrow down the search area.

After leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Kazuma Kudo went straight home and then called Conan.

According to Conan, they have deduced that the bomb is inside the red train on the Tokyo Central Line, and a large number of police officers have been dispatched to evacuate passengers and search for the bomb.

In addition, based on the literal meaning of the warning letter, the police also sent people to search various baseball stadiums.

Besides, the members of the Junior Detective League seem to have no intention of resting at all, but instead want to help Sato and Takagi solve the case and avenge Shiratori, who was seriously injured in the explosion.

"Okay, I'm going to rest now. Let me know if there's any progress, and feel free to call me if you need any help."

Knowing that Conan would not be in any danger tonight, Kazuma Kudo went to sleep.

I've been feeling really drained these past few days. The only way to recover quickly, besides spending more time with Conan, the chosen one, is to get more sleep.

Because he had something on his mind, Kudo Kazuma woke up unusually early the next day, at seven o'clock.

He checked his phone and found that around 3 a.m., Vodka had sent him a message informing him that the two attack helicopters had landed and the mission was complete.

He initially wanted to call Gin to ask about the meeting with the boss, but then he remembered that Gin had been working until at least 4 a.m., so he immediately called Vodka instead.

Vodka: "Hmm?"

His voice was somewhat muffled, clearly still sleepy: "Danpo? Is something wrong?"

"Where's your older brother? Is he still resting?"

"Yeah, my brother didn't go to sleep until almost five o'clock..."

"Oh, that's okay."

Kudo Kazuma hung up the phone immediately. The bomb issue wouldn't be resolved until noon, so he decided to take a nap.

Vodka: “Huh?”

He was fully awake...

He didn't fall asleep until after 4 a.m., okay?

If he couldn't afford to offend Tempranillo, he really wanted to beat up this guy who disturbed Qingming!

At nine o'clock, Kudo Kazuma finally got up.

After tidying up a bit and making some breakfast for himself and Narumi, he called Conan while eating.

Through Conan's phone call, Kudo Kazuma learned that the police had searched the entire red train on the Toto Chuo Line last night and found a lot of fake bullets. What was worrying was that there were one or two real bombs mixed in with the fake bullets, which forced them to search thoroughly and kept them busy all night.

Similarly, all the baseball stadiums of any size in Tokyo were searched that night, but thankfully nothing was found.

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, you know so much? How did you do that?"

Conan's phone was on speakerphone, and through the phone, Kazuma Kudo heard Ai Haibara's voice: "Because we followed the two police officers on their search all night, Officer Takagi is now planning to take us home."

Kudo Kazuma was speechless. He had promised to take them home last night, and after trying all night, he still hadn't succeeded. It seemed unlikely he'd be able to do it again...

"Speaking of which, I always feel that my speculation last night wasn't entirely correct... Most of the bombs on the train were fake, probably mainly to mislead people. So where are the remaining bombs?"

On the other end of the phone, Conan muttered to himself, seemingly still trying to deduce the code left by the bomber.

As Kudo Kazuma listened to his older brother's rambling on the phone, he knew that without a reminder, his brother probably wouldn't be able to think of Tokyo Tower. So he immediately said, "If this bombing and the previous one were done by the same person, the one three years ago was on the Ferris wheel, right? Is there any similar place?"

"A similar place..." Conan grabbed his phone and asked, "Red, rising, iron, a box... Kazuma, can you guess what this is?"

It took a different approach, but it was very effective, right?

Kazuma Kudo smirked: "The rising metal box, isn't that an elevator? A red elevator?"

No, how did Conan deduce this from a bunch of codes he couldn't understand?

"A red... elevator? Something like a Ferris wheel? Tokyo Tower!" Conan suddenly exclaimed. "Tokyo Tower is red, and like a Ferris wheel, it's tall enough that many people would see if something happened. So, the bomb is actually in an elevator in Tokyo Tower?"

Officer Takagi nodded: "Okay, let's go to Tokyo Tower now!"

Upon hearing this, Kudo Kazuma quickly finished his breakfast and hurried off to Tokyo Tower.
